Bugzilla Bug 104174

Why is /etc/env.d/46kdepaths-3.4 installed with arts? If I don't want to use
arts, i.e., if I have "-arts" in my use flags kde won't go in my path, and I
will not be able to use kdm as a login manager at startup, for example.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't install arts
2. Put kdm in /etc/rc.conf
3. Try /etc/init.d/xdm start (will not work!)

Suggestion: put this in kde-base/kde-env, instead.

Running into this also. Let's move that file into the kde-env ebuild.

/etc/env.d/46kdepaths-3.4 is installed by kdelibs if -arts is in your USE  
flags, and so will be created by either arts or kdelibs depending on your USE  
flags. Just double checked and this works on my system -  a file collision is 
generated due to my system being built with arts already. 
 
Do you guys have USE=-arts set globally? 

Ok, i found out that my kdelibs was installed with +arts and the other packages
with -arts. But why not to move this to kde-env anyway? Wouldn't this be better,
and avoid such problems?

The reason this isn't in kde-env is that kde-env has only one ebuild 
version/slot. It sets settings like KDEDIRS=/usr, needed for all kde versions. 
   
The settings in 46kdepaths-3.4 are per KDE slot (3.4 in this case) and so  
should be moved to a new ebuild called eg 'kde-env-slotted'. Or we could have 
multiple slots of kde-env, but version 3 being slot "0" (as it is now) is then 
a bit counterintuitive. 
 
Doing this is a good idea, to prevent cases where adding or removing arts to 
USE leaves a system with either double ownership of 46kdepaths-3.4 of (worse) 
without 46kdepaths-3.4 being installed at all. (Yes, such a system would be 
broken in other ways and/or should be fixed on emerge world.) 
 
I remember it being proposed before but getting stuck for some reason. Possibly 
merely due to the 'it works, don't touch it' syndrome.

Ping here, this should really be fixed before KDE 3.5.2 goes stable...

Uhm, are you waiting for KDE4 here so that the issue dies with arts, or what?
:P This is causing real breakage, as you can see from the dupes.

run into it right now

Slotting is not possible, since the ebuilds would conflict installing
/etc/env.d/99kde-env both. The solution is not to install env data with the
aRts ebuild. Should not be an issue, unless someone wants to run a standalone
aRts server. Sorry, not supported.

Finally fixed with arts-3.5.4-r1.

And where is 45kdepaths-3.x gone now? I emerged arts-3.5.4-r1 and
kdelibs-3.5.4-r1 and now this file is no longer in /etc/env.d/ which gives me
many headaches as all kde-paths are away now :-(

Because you use ~arch and aRts, while I don't. I missed to remove the

if ! use arts ; then

block around the relevant lines. Fix is in cvs. Sorry.

I know that I'm using ~arch :)
Alright I just sent you an email about this issue but I think this mail can go
its way to /dev/null now :)

Thanks for fixing this so fast.

I just installed a fresh ~x86 system with a tree from yesterday and I don't
have an env-file with kde paths. After an emerge --sync I don't have any kde
update so I assume the error has been corrected without a rev-bump. Could
someone be so nice to tell me what ebuild now contains the correct env-file? A
better solutions off course would be a revbump to push this fix to all ~arch
users who now have a broken kde. Thanks!

Michiel: emerge kdelibs again - or populate the file yourself (see bug 144917),
with the downside that you'd have to emerge kdelibs with
FEATURES=-collision-protect next time.

Thanks Carsten, for your reply and the great work you do for KDE/Gentoo.
